Retour Migrant workers and asylum-seekers particularly vulnerable to human trafficking

Migrant workers and asylum-seekers particularly vulnerable to human trafficking
On 3 April 2018, in its 7th General Report, the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) dedicated a thematic section to the issue of trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation, based on the country evaluation reports published so far (42 country reports under the first evaluation round and 25 country reports under the second evaluation round). The report notes that migrant workers, especially seasonal and irregular migrant workers, as well as asylum-seekers who have no access to the labour market, are particularly vulnerable to human trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation. GRETA’s report highlights steps being taken to strengthen preventive measures, such as the provision of information to labour migrants both pre- and post-departure so that they can make informed decisions about migrating, as well as the establishment of drop-in centres for irregular migrant workers in destination countries. However, GRETA notes that limited resources for labour inspectorates, restrictions on collective bargaining and restricted access to channels for legal migration all contribute to labour trafficking.
